Cyware Daily Threat Intelligence, June 21, 2019

DanaBot has evolved beyond being a banking trojan and has now become more powerful by including a ransomware module to its arsenal. The malware variant has been found infecting users in Italy and Poland. It is dropped in the form of a VBA script through phishing emails.

Canada’s largest credit union Desjardins Group suffered a major blow after an employee disclosed the personal information of its 2.9 million customers. The exposed information included the details of almost 2.7 million home users and 173,000 business customers.

The past 24 hours also saw some major security patches that were issued by Mozilla and Microsoft.
